Privacy & listening

Updated September 9, 2026

You can browse and listen here without creating an account.

Understanding what people enjoy

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand visits, referring websites, campaigns, and broad device and location information. We also measure episode starts, preview listens, listening milestones, completions, playback errors, and clicks to podcast platforms. These measurements help us understand how the website is used.

Vercel's measurement is cookie-free. We do not add advertising pixels or session recordings. Our custom listening events contain episode identifiers and playback information, rather than names or email addresses. Analytics and performance measurement are skipped when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

Optional Google Analytics

If you choose “Allow analytics,” we also use Google Analytics to measure page visits, traffic sources, episode starts, listening milestones and clicks to podcast platforms. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to distinguish visits. Google receives browsing and connection information when this measurement is enabled. We disable Google signals and advertising personalization.

Google Analytics does not load until you allow it. Choose “No thanks” to continue without it. You can change your choice using “Analytics preferences” at the bottom of any page; choosing “No thanks” stops further Google Analytics measurement and removes its first-party cookies. Your choice is saved in this browser's local storage. With Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control enabled, all optional analytics stays off.

Keeping the website working

Vercel hosts this website. Speed Insights measures loading speed and responsiveness. Hosting and audio providers also process ordinary connection information, such as IP addresses and browser details, to deliver their services.

Playing an episode

Episode audio is delivered by Riverside, the podcast's hosting provider. Pressing play requests audio from that provider and may contribute to its podcast listening statistics. A preview plays the first 60 seconds of the same episode; it is not a separate trailer.

If you open Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or another external service, that service's own privacy practices apply.
